Beth Nicholson Hi Judy (plus Sue and Diane), I just had my first Colorado lesson on Winston (Wannadoo) and am so happy.
He is a joy to ride and I know he will teach me so much. He is also the most affectionate horse I have ever met. He really loves to be loved on!
What a gem! I am especially happy that he is settling in well despite the cold and yet another new environment. On Tuesday when he got his first time on the lunge line he really took advantage of the chance to let off the stress he had been under. I have never seen a horse display such athletic ability and literal "airs above the ground" that would have impressed even the Spanish Riding School! By the next day he was fine on the line and the next day Karen rode him. We will take things slow and easy, but so far he is doing very well and seems very happy.Thank you so much for all your help - I am so excited about all the new things that I will learn with Winston.I will try to keep you up to date a bit as things go on. DC is also doing very well, but Karen exercises him earlier in the day so I haven't watched her ride him as yet. All best wishes to you and your wonderful family! Beth

AmadeusI just wanted to give you a quick update on Amadeus. I love him so much! He is incredible. We showed second level this season and won several classes at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby series, with scores of 67 and 68%. Although he has had some growth spurts that slowed down his progression a bit, he now has his changes and a super start for piaffe. I am training in Wellington now, but he and I travel to Poulins for lessons. Hope all is well with you and your family!! Take Care, Amy

News Of Tristan Dear Judy:
My friend at the barn took this beautiful picture of Tristan while I enjoy some vacation time over the new year. Shannon described him as the Brad Pitt of horses and I totally agree!
On Christmas Day, he gave me 7 clean and straight 2-time tempi changes. On the 26th, he gave me 2 clean one-time switches, back to back. We practice piaffe every day. I am just simply amazed at how this horse is so willing and intelligent and just a pleasure to ride every day. It is hard to believe that I have only been riding him one month but of course, I have the best help from Steffen and Shannon!
Please tell Remy that he is doing well and giving me a lot of joy.
Happy New Year!
Akiko

Michele Price USA Hello Judy, Just to let you know that Amando and I have the most
wonderful relationship! We are together almost everyday unless I have
somewhere else to go. I have three granddaughters, so I try to spend time with my family too! Everyone always tells me they want to be my horse!!
They see all the love and consideration I show to Amando! It's difficult
to believe that he is seventeen. He is in great shape, although I have to try to keep him from gaining too much weight! I have a trainer, licensed
from Germany. He's been my trainer for approx.seven years and loves Amando
very much! Amando is so intelligent and athletic. He is very happy. I
have him boarded at a wonderful facility that is a forty-five minute drive
from my home each way. I drive there six days a week so you can tell from that what a great place it is! I can't say "thank-you" enough for
bringing Amando and me together. He is part of my family and he makes me
smile every! Harry (my husband) sends his regards. He thinks Amando is amazing too!.

Etta email to Judy update Sire Carlos Hello Judy! Thank you for selling this nice, clever horse to Emmi! They are made to each others, everything seems so easy for them. There was a Danish judge and he said to Maisa that there was only one horse in the competition and the rider of that horse was also from another planet - comparing to other competitors... We were so proud of Emmi and her horse! many thanks Etta

Email send by Aurélie Verhaegen of Belgium Hello Judy,
I bought Amor from you almost two years ago and although you may remember
he was a little stressed out at first, we have been doing great and he's
really become my best friend and a great and patient professor.
Hope you're doing good!

Email Amy to Judy Amadeus was sold to the USA Hi Judy,
How are you and Jo and Jaidy doing? I saw the pictures of you and Jaidy on your website. She looks beautiful! I am sure she is keeping you quite busy! I have been in Florida at the Poulins' for a little more than a month now, so I have been able to bond with Amadeus! I am completely in love with him. He is an amazing horse, both to ride and in the stable. He has such good character. I know now that we made the right decision by choosing him! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVE my new horse.
Take care and please tell everyone I say hello,

Gudrun Carstairs Congratulations Judy with your Baby Girl Comments: Hi Judy,
congratulations on your baby girl!!! We bought a horse from you five years
ago and I check you website occasionally. 'Roman' (Hans Van Bedaf -
Etten-Leur) has become my daughter Tiana's best friend!! Roman has turned
out to be such a wonderful horse with a great personality and spirit about
him. They have had many successful times showing and are still in training
with Nick Wagman in California (who knows Hans from when he was in
Holland). We moved to California from Hawaii three years ago to find
better training for them. Roman is training PSG now. I was thrilled to see
hat you have a baby girl!!! We still remember our 'horse hunting' with
you in Holland very fondly!!
All the best!
Gudrun Carstairs.
